The training that was being scheduled for Tuesday August 29, at
Delmarva has been postponed until further notice.

I would like to thank everyone for joining so far.  I am asking that
everyone go in & edit your profile with your full name so we have no
strangers to the site.

This site has been working out well so far & I request that all team
leaders post their training on the calandar feature under the site to
keep everyone up to date on available training. This will also keep
special operations teams from holding training on the same nights to
allow all team members to be able to attend.

There are numerous open houses, public safety displays &
demonstations in the upcoming months.  I hope that our special
operations group actively participates.

The task force meetings have been making progress & will have the
meeting minutes posted on the site in the near future.  Once again we
would like to welcome you the site & please use it as a communication
tool for our special operations teams.

If anyone is having trouble navigating through the site please
contact me & I will get you through it.  Also keep the photos's
coming with special operations activity.  These photo's of incidents
& training will help us in the future to secure funding clerification.

Thanks again,

H. Matthew Netsch
NCC Special Operations
Team Leader

Experts forecast another active Atlantic hurricane season
Apr 04 11:03 AM US/Eastern
Email this story

Forecasters warned that the upcoming Atlantic cyclonic season would
again be highly active, with a total of 17 tropical storms, including
nine hurricanes, likely to form.

Of those hurricanes, five should be intense, meaning they will reach
or exceed Category 3 on the five-level Saffir-Simpson hurricane
intensity scale, said leading experts William Gray and Philip
Klotzbach of Colorado State University.

While the numbers are above the historical average, they remain below
last year's record of 26 tropical storms and 14 hurricanes, seven of
them intense.

The study said there was a 98 percent chance of a hurricane making
landfall in the United States, with an 88 percent likelihood of a
Category 1 or 2 striking land and an 81 percent chance of a Category
3, 4 or 5 slamming ashore.

But Gray said it was unlikely the United States would be as hard hit
as it has been in the past two years -- each of which saw four major
hurricanes slam ashore.

"Even though we expect to see the current active period of Atlantic
major hurricane activity to continue for another 15 to 20 years, it
is statistically unlikely that the coming 2006 and 2007 hurricane
seasons, or the seasons that follow, will have the number of major
hurricane US landfalls as we have seen in 2004-2005."

Experts believe the latest record hurricane season was part of a
cycle where periods of relative calm alternate with decades of
intense activity.

Some scientists also believe global warming plays a crucial role by
further increasing the temperature of warm ocean waters that provide
fuel to the hurricanes.

But the Colorado State University study played down the theory.

"No credible observational evidence is available or likely will be
available in the next few decades which will directly associate
global surface temperature change to changes in global frequency and
intensity," it said.

The hurricane season officially runs from June 1 to November 30.

The SRT will be having a night vision class with the new glasses we
received through WMD.  The class will begin at 1900 hrs at station 18
